Kimberly T’s Reviews > Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World > Status Update

“All I’d wanted was to save myself from certain death and maybe also become powerful behind my wildest dreams. I didn’t think that was unreasonable. Sure, I’d made some ill-advised choices with unforeseen and disastrous consequences, but who doesn’t in their twenties?”

Colin… do you hear yourself

The Abominations are made from human consciousness and their capacity for evil, cool cool cool. No wonder Colin was Chosen by the One Who Hungers. He hungers too!

“Do you remember the thing we talked about?”
“You mean your plan to impress your boss by saving the city? But really it’s about punishing the people who’ve bullied you? But really it’s about your pathological need for power, which is actually a desire for control over a frightening and chaotic universe?”
“Uh…”

Lol get him, Alex

I think the romance between Colin and Eric is faster than my tastes. still cute. Is Eric somehow knowledgeable of Dark Enterprises or the Commune that is trying to kill Colin?

I’m also chalking most things in this book up to the fact that Colin has delusion as a personality trait

“I kept expecting to feel bad about what I’d done to Andrea and Gerald, but I didn’t. Not even a little bit. This struck me as somewhat worrying. Didn’t that mean I was a psychopath?”

Yeah Colin, you are. It’s kind of funny though. Fall! Fall to the prey of power!

Amira is a genius particle physicist investigating multiple dimensions, and Colin works at a company summoning beings from other dimensions…Will she discover one? I see what you’re putting down here Mark Waddell

OHHHH Dark Enterprises summons supernatural entities in modern society using black magic! Colin is just a dude who wants world domination and has ambitious goals. Let’s see how he dooms the world.

“At 12 years old, I learned how the world really works.
Most people call this middle school…this was my first brush with hierarchies of status and power, the invisible ladder that defines our existence in a collective society. Here’s the thing nobody tells you: status and power are limited resources. The system is designed not just to elevate the few but to ensure most never get close to the top.”

Just look at the title. Of course I’m reading this.
